IMPROVEMENT IN CASES FOR PIN-PACKAGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 121,492, 'datedDecember 5, 1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, UHAUNOY O. ORosBY, of Milford, in the county of NewHaven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Casefor Pin-Package; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken inconnection with the accompanying drawing and the letters of referencemarked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification, andrepresents in- Figure 1 avertical central section; Fig. 2, the blankfrom which the bottom is formed; and in Fig. 3, a side view of thebottom after being brought into the required shape.

This invention relates to an improvement in boxes for arranging pinsstuck in accordance with my application for patent which was filedAugust 1, 1871, the object being to raise the mass of pins graduallyfrom the edge toward the center, so that the heads of each successiverow will be higher than the next outer row and it consists in theconstruction of a box or case the bottom of which rises gradually fromthe outer edge to the center into conical form.

The body of the box A is formed from pasteboard or other suitablematerial of the diameter or size required for the package. The bottom iscut into circular form, from similar material, of larger diameter thanthe box, and divided from the center to one edge, as at a, Fig. 2. Atthe slot at the edges are overlapped until the desired shape is given,and the diameter of the bottom contracted to the diameter of the box, asseen in Fig. 3. The bottom is united to the box in the usual manner forpaper-boxes.

If preferred, a gore may be cut from the bottom and the edges broughttogether to give the required conical shape.

WVhile the best and most practical shape for the box is circular, it maybe of any other desired form, it only being essential that the bottomshould rise toward the center.

I claim as my invention- The herein-described box as a case for thearrangement of pins, substantially as set forth.
